The recent **** and utter insensitivity plus lack of empathy to the young woman's pain and humiliation in Delhi by the rapists (who after raping her inserted an iron rod into her which killed her) has prompted me to ask if this is worth teaching. Then there is female foeticide and dowry deaths and many women not being able to choose if they want to work outside the home or not. Don't know what exactly could be taught though.- perhaps they could be topics of debate between students.
